"Cujo" Remake

[Akijama]

Well now. We didn't see this one coming. Apparently a remake of the film Cujo based on the Stephen King novel of the same name is going into production sometime this year. Read on for the first details and even a sales video.

From the Press Release
Lang Elliott, President & CEO of Sunn Classic Pictures, Inc., announced that Sunn plans to produce the remake of "CUJO" this year representing the 30th Anniversary since Sunn produced and distributed the original "CUJO" motion picture in 1983, based upon Stephen King's novel. The 1983 version was highly successful at the worldwide box-office and, compared with today's inflation and higher ticket prices, the box-office would be well over $225 million even without ancillary sales (i.e., DVD, cable, free television, pay-per-view, etc.).

"CUJO" is the story of a large, playful St. Bernard dog that is transformed into a hideous killing machine after being infected by rabies. Donna Trenton's car is on the fritz, and she and her son take her ailing automobile to their mechanic. Upon their arrival, the car stalls and refuses to restart. The mechanic fails to appear so Donna searches for him. The transformed, maniacal "CUJO" reveals himself; he is highly agitated and very aggressive. Donna hardly recognizes this filthy, monstrous creature foaming at the mouth. Suddenly "CUJO" charges Donna, who barely makes it back into the car for protection. Trapped with her son and the windows rolled up, the sweltering heat begins to take its toll. "CUJO's" powerful state of insanity and violence await

CGI Cujo is going to suck.

[solarrdadd]

i keep wondering why are there so many remakes? have all the ideas that existed already been made into movies?

we are doomed.

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

OH NOES! Time to wine and dine. Oops I meant whine and complain.

Carry on.

[skyofcrack]

I guess this'll be a short film. The kid will text that they're getting attacked and where they are. Movie over.

Why??????!!! Hell they might as well remake the birds or the shining while there at it. Too many damn remakes these days

[Blu-Benny]

People could do what I do when a movie is being made that I don’t care for…..ignore it and not go see it.

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

Why Cujo? There was nothing wrong with the original. Is Hollywood doing this to create more jobs for bad actors?

Pretty much this is what everyone needs to do. But than where's the fun of pissing and moaning and saying how much Hollywood sucks, right?

No. There will be a small cast of people though. The actor you mentioned could possibly play the part as the father of the kid and the husband of the blonde woman. That's only if he gets the role of course.

They could at least be more accurate with today and make Cujo a pitbull.

I'm sure the kid will forget his phone inside the house. Or his battery will die. Or something lame like that.

This!

People just like to belly-ache and cry about something. It might as well be something as superficial as a movie.

If the kid is say 5 or 6 years old why would they have a cell phone? I mean the kid in the original was young.

Something I've took notice of late that people aren't happy unless they're b*tching about something. Especially when it comes to movies. They just wanna cause they can.

If people are *****ing about movies at church in the middle of a sermon or at work during a meeting then it is a problem. On a movie website forum...not so much.

Use a real St. Bernard or GTFO.

That St. Bernard who played in that Beethoven movie years ago is probably out of work and panhandling with a drug habit somewhere in Los Angeles. Cast him in the Cujo remake so that he can appropriately utilize his real-life angst toward the role.
